Mario Dimovski has three decades of experience in plastic repair, contributing to the development of better processes, tools and materials.

Plasnomic announced the appointment of , director of circular repair and innovation at the Boyd Group, as the head of the Global Plastic Repair Alliance Council. The council is an elite coalition of industry leaders dedicated to advancing and supporting the implementation of the highest global standards for plastic repair practices, tools and processes across the global collision repair industry.

“Mario’s leadership, vision and global perspective make him uniquely qualified to guide this council,” said , CEO of Plasnomic. “He has been instrumental in shaping the future of plastic repairs.”

Driehorst said it’s staggering to consider Dimovski has directly repaired and overseen more than 1 million plastic part repairs over his career.

“His technical hands-on skills and depth of experience are unmatched in the industry, firmly placing him in a league of his own,” noted Driehorst. “His appointment, unanimously supported by council members, marks a defining moment in the evolution of plastic repair standards.”

“I’m deeply honored to take on this role,” said Dimovski. “This moment represents far more than a personal achievement; it’s a turning point for the industry.”

Dimovski said the industry has a unique opportunity to bring alignment to a fragmented space and champion repair-first plastic solutions.

“By working together, we can establish plastic repair as a trusted, standardized discipline and fast-track the adoption of best practices across both collision repair and the broader circular parts ecosystem,” he added.

Dimovski began his journey in plastic repair at the age of 16, starting as a plastic repair apprentice. Over the past three decades, he has become a driving force in the industry, leading innovation as an employee, business owner and board member. His leadership in the evolution of plastic repair has set a higher standard for filler-free processes, driven the development of proprietary tools, and led to the formulation of compatible materials that improve repair outcomes.

Driehorst said these contributions have significantly expanded the definition of “repairability” and influenced how collision centers approach plastic repair, thus reshaping implementation strategies across multiple continents.

Widely recognized as a change agent, Dimovski works at the Boyd Group, which operates nearly 1,000 collision centers across the U.S. and Canada. He also contributes to the industry as an IBIS Global Ambassador and is a prominent voice on platforms such as LinkedIn, where he shares insights through his monthly Collision Intelligence blog.

“This unique blend of hands-on technical expertise, industry vision and boardroom drive make him the ideal catalyst for transformative change,” shared Driehorst. “Mario has elevated plastic repair into a global movement driven by collaboration to redefine the future of repair and sustainability.”

The Plastic Repair Alliance Council, comprised of a diverse, cross-regional coalition of the collision industry’s most senior advocates, experts and innovators, plays a vital role in supporting a multilayered approach to communication, education and curriculum development that elevates quality, safety and operational efficiency.

Under Dimovski’s leadership, the council will formalize its operational framework, expand its global reach and strengthen strategic partnerships with collision networks, plastic repair specialists, OEMs, training bodies and supply chain leaders.

This announcement marks another major leap forward for Plasnomic under Driehorst’s leadership, who continues to guide the organization’s operational execution and collaborative strategy. Through its expanding global network, Plasnomic is forging strategic alliances with leading MSOs and manufacturers to advance globally recognized certification programs, approved tools and unified best practices in plastic repair across the globe.
